notice where the light falls...

Your phone is already a powerful camera. This workshop is about learning how to use it well — slowing down, noticing light, and creating images that feel honest and intentional.

The Field Notes Mobile Photography Workshop is a two-hour, hands-on session focused on shooting thoughtfully and editing beautifully using Lightroom Mobile. It’s practical, approachable, and designed to give you a repeatable process you can use every day.

No overwhelm. No complicated gear. Just clear guidance and space to learn.

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is designed for:

• People who love taking photos but feel unsure why some images work and others don’t
• Beginners or hobbyists who want simple tools that make a big difference
• Anyone curious about Lightroom Mobile but unsure where to start
• Creatives who want a more consistent, natural look to their photos

You don’t need prior photography or editing experience — just your phone and curiosity.

What We’ll Cover

Part One: Shooting With Intention

We’ll start with the foundations that instantly improve photos:

• How to recognize good light (indoors and outdoors)
• Simple composition tools that work in everyday situations
• Using your mobile camera features with confidence
• How to slow down and see before you press the shutter

Part Two: Editing in Lightroom Mobile

This is the heart of the workshop:

• A clear, repeatable editing workflow from start to finish
• Understanding light, color, and contrast without over-editing
• Cropping and straightening for stronger images
• When to use selective edits — and when to keep it simple
• Exporting images for sharing, social media, or printing

Part Three: Making It Your Own

• Developing a consistent look that feels true to you
• Saving edits and building an efficient personal workflow
• Practical next steps to keep practicing and improving

What’s Included

• A guided 2-hour workshop
• Live demonstrations and real-time editing walk-throughs
• Time to ask questions and get individual support
• A simple takeaway guide so you can repeat the process at home

Pricing & Booking

This workshop can be experienced privately or shared — designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re looking for focused learning or a relaxed, creative evening together.

Private Mobile Photography Session

Starting at $175

A one-on-one, two-hour session tailored entirely to you. We’ll move at your pace, focus on the images you’re drawn to, and spend extra time on the parts that matter most — whether that’s shooting, editing, or building a workflow you can return to again and again. Private sessions are ideal if you’re looking for personal guidance, confidence-building, or a quiet space to learn.

Shared Sessions (Bring a Friend or Two)

Two people

A shared private session designed for learning together. This option works beautifully for friends, partners, or collaborators who want to explore photography side by side while still receiving individual attention.

Small group sessions

These are relaxed, social workshops where learning happens naturally through conversation, laughter, and shared curiosity. Small group sessions are intentionally kept intimate, allowing space to ask questions, experiment, and enjoy the process together.

Small group pricing varies depending on group size and setting. If you’re planning a creative evening, a casual gathering, or a themed session, I’m happy to help shape something that feels right.

A Note on Social Sessions

Photography doesn’t have to be formal or intimidating. These workshops can also be a reason to gather, an evening spent learning, creating, and slowing down together. If you’re imagining something lighthearted and social, we can design a session that balances learning with connection, curiosity, and fun.

The goal is always the same: to leave feeling inspired and more confident than when you arrived.

Booking

Private and shared sessions are booked on a rolling basis.

Small group workshops are offered periodically throughout the year. To book a session or inquire about a custom group experience, use the booking link below or get in touch directly. I’m always happy to talk through what might work best.
